    I'm not sure he's being underrated as much as people are not sure why you guarantee money to someone when you can get the bulk of that above average production without the contract.
  2. USAFChief
    It's quite simple...they don't have to sign him to retain control through his early 30's, so why do it?
  3. USAFChief
    Do we know they intend to try converting him back into a starter? He had a poor year, but was a very nice bullpen piece for a couple years before that.
  4. USAFChief
    dont be ridiculous. Kershaw, trout and kimbrell will do the trick.
  5. USAFChief
    Concur.
  6. USAFChief
    concur
  7. USAFChief
    He looks more like a 5th OFer to me. But teams don't carry 5 OFers any more. So he looks like a guy to keep in Rochester to me.
  8. USAFChief
    One last try...Rogers was not struck on the shoulder, he took a line drive off the left forearm, as witnessed and reported when it happened.
  9. USAFChief
    Not to mention the owner said so.
  10. USAFChief
    OK. The wording of the proposal left me confused.
  11. USAFChief
    If there's already "some congestion in the rotation," why does it make sense to bring in a pitchers from this list, but not one from the expensive list? Money aside, It would seem if there's room for Masterson, there's room for Lester.
  12. USAFChief
    pfft...general admission ducats prolly.
  13. USAFChief
    Lots of intriguing names on that list.
  14. USAFChief
    Molitor has never managed. IMO the last thing he needs is to add a pitching coach who has never been a pitching coach. Get someone who has at the least had some successful minor league experience, if you can't get a guy with successful major league experience.
  15. USAFChief
    I think it was first reported here at TD by a couple guys who witnessed it, and later saw the forearm wrapped and then in a cast.
  16. USAFChief
    True enough. Like I said, if Molly is the hire, I hope he does fantastically well.
  17. USAFChief
    I can't shake the feeling this decision was made a year ago. And I can't help but feel disappointed about the apparent strong phobia over going outside the organization. I've been wrong before, hope I am again and Molitor turns out to be a great hire.
  18. USAFChief
    And by doing it their way, the Twins have been in deep doodoo for the last four years, and have in their past been in the same condition for decades at a time. I think we all understand there are limits, and ideally your minor league system provides a good chunk of what is needed. Some of us just have different ideas about how and when to augment that pipeline, and perhaps about what ownerships responsibilities should be.
  19. USAFChief
    Welp, that explains Parker and DSP. But Dan Anderson doesn't strike me as a 60's dropout type.
  20. USAFChief
    And my assumption is, they had roughly the same other expenses in the dome. So why the sudden need for a lot more money in the "other" column? TF mortgage payments,maybe?
  21. USAFChief
    I honestly don't think it's money. I kind of wish I did think it was money. That would be easier to explain. But IMO we're left with other explanations, none of which seem at first glance very complimentary to the Twins.
  22. USAFChief
    That's the thing though...it almost CAN'T be about the money. It's not a significant amount of money. And I'm someone known to mention money on occasion. So what is it? It is baffling to me.
  23. USAFChief
    Which, if true, tells us more than a little about how this pretty universally admired manager views the Twins job, IMO.
  24. USAFChief
    he must not have gotten the "no news during the WS" memo.
  25. USAFChief
    It seems pretty clear Gardy knew why Molitor was added to his staff, and that certainly adds some validity to the idea Ryan knew who he was going to hire a year ago.
